The City of Nedlands is widely recognised as a district of green and leafy suburbs. For a large portion of the community this characteristic is an integral part of the desirability of living in the City. Local streetscapes and the wider community benefit from street trees in a variety of ways including: • Providing shade and protection from the elements • Reducing glare • Improving mental health and well-being • Providing habitat for a diversity of fauna • Adding moisture and oxygen to the air • Removing carbon dioxide and other air pollutants
